Luke 22:31–34, 54–62 {Prayer} “The Look”. We all know that look. It’s the look that says you crossed the line. Children know that when mom or dad give “the look” that something bad is about to go down if they don’t change their ways. It doesn’t have to be loud. It doesn’t have to be…
Luke 1:26-38 {Prayer} Finding out that you are having a baby is monumental. It’s a life-changing event. The joy of expecting a baby is often paired with a healthy dose of nervousness. How are we going to afford this? Where was the “having a baby” manual again? Do we get a “how to…
